Novel is a tricky word. In this case, the LLM produced a python program that was similar to other programs in its corpus, and this oython program generated examples of hypergraphs that hadn't been seen before. That's a new result,

Well, for one the proof would have to use actual proof techniques. What really happened here was that the LLM produced a python script that generated examples of hypergraphs that served as proof by example . And the only thing that has bee

I 100% agree. The LLM was just used to autocomplete a ready-made strategy.

No, the size of those networks that would be capable of that are infeasible. That's a common fallacy. You hint at this but then dismiss it. Mathematically possible != actually possible.

1) this is a proof by example 2) the proof is conducted by writing a python program constructing hypergraphs 3) the consensus was this was low-hanging fruit ready to be picked, and tactics for this problem were available to the LLM So reall

It is not. You're operating under the assumption that all open math problems are difficult and novel. This particular problem was about improving the lower bound for a function tracking a property of hypergraphs (undirected graphs wher

It generated a proof that was close enough to something in its training data to be generated.

It's using a mature data model from an existing framework (git), and it's essentially a simpler clone of other similar projects. That's brownfield to me. Greenfield would develop a completely new system. This is a utility for

Vibecoding is the term for building software with LLM tools. Did you do something different? I'm just getting tired of hearing claims of incredible software being built with LLM-based tools, but when I ask to see them, I get nothing. Y

Would you share the music app? Do you have a public repo or demo somewhere? You didn't really describe it very much, so it's hard to say what it actually does. I'm interested in evaluating the quality of vibecoded projects pe

I will try anything reasonable. And have tried LLM tools for programming. But there's no way I would use it daily. It's too inefficient, too error prone, and will actively make me a worse programmer (as I will be writing less code

Politics is how you make decisions collectively. In other words the market is political, LLCs are political, and common rules about how work is licensed is political. AI is also being used (unfortunately) to make decisions. AI is therefore

The West Bank is not part of the war (if you can even call the Gaza war a war, it's an extermination campaign, but still, people do call that a war). This is just a regular tuesday massacre for the IDF, not an ongoing conflict, just oc

Because the west (our political and economic system) supports this war, and does so much more loudly than the war in Sudan,which is funded by the UAE, also a US ally, but a far less visible and consequential one. Nobody is visible working t

you have three entries, none of them seem to be about a specific project, all of them seem to be about ways of setting up agentic development. I'm not going to comb them for crumbs. Surely you can just tell me: what is, in your opinion

You're missing the most common AI tool selection: none at all. Every developer I know has _tried_ LLMs/agents for coding. But I don't know any developer actually _using_ them for programming. At most use them for generating d

Is it really valid to call it "ingenuity" if you weren't able to execute projects before? Gen-AI has not enabled me to develop anything I wasn't able to do before, and I consider myself to be an average developer.

They did not "fix" the negation problem. It's still there. Along with other drift/misinterpretation issues.

I'm not sure I follow. What I mean is that it makes no sense to say you're fighting a war to achieve peace if you're the one who started the war, breaking the peace that existed before then. If peace is your goal, then the st
